I have it volkanovski 2 up. This is why you watch your opponents fights, I could've told you he was gonna keep kicking, stick to his gameplan. He's very disciplined.

why does Joe keep saying he was 240? Was he really that big? That dont sound right.

204. Rugby players are pretty bulky.

Max needs the KO to win this. Ive never seen Max out struck. He's been dismantled. If he loses, he deserves a rematch. Fascinating to see his strategy and if he'll watch his fights to get a gameplan to go with his gas tank.
 
Have to give that one to Volkanovski. He just did more, and those leg kicks were the most impactful strikes in the fight. Two extremely tough dudes though.

See that sounds right. 240 is fucking huge haha
 
Ahahaha, Covington is totally playing the heel. He wears the MAGA hat, he plays up being friends with Trump, he's even using Kurt Angle's famous entrance music, complete with the crowd yelling "YOU SUCK!"

This is great, can't wait to see him and Usman fight it out.
 
What better way to play up the villain role than to support the president and drape an American flag over yourself...2019, folks!
 
Covington doesn't appear to be doing it on purpose but he's kicked Usman's groin and poked him in the eye now. He's gunning for a DQ.

The replay showed the kick landed on the abdomen, above his pants even. "The poke" was on the left eye. Usman was complaining about the right eye. Everyone I'm watching it with right now called that right away when they showed the replay. If anything, Usman is trying to catch a break.

These last 2 fights have had literally zero wrestling. UFC is now bare-knuckle boxing, folks.

I want to see one of these guys power bomb the other onto the mat.
 
Holy shit guys, Usman finished it instead of going the distance. I didn't expect that at all, it looked like Usman was going to just let it go to decision but he finished it with some haymakers right on the sides of Covington's head.

Great fight
 
Soft stoppage. It's a championship fight in the final minute, you could've waited a little given the glove was up and absorbing some of it. The writing was on the wall either way though.

Fantastic fight by both; very gutsy performances.
